Ryuichi Sakamoto immediately picked up the pen,

Write down on the document: three sides of the encirclement, pull the net and comb the grate.

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Let's talk about the three-sided encirclement first, the general plan is to block Zhengtai Road with the main force of the 2nd Guards Division, and block Tongpu Road with the 3rd Brigade. ”

"The 4th and 9th brigades blockade Puyin."

"In this way, the north, west, and south of the Taihang bandit area are heavily blocked."

"Only the east is not blocked, the purpose is to expel the Eighth Route Army from the Taihang bandit area to the Jizhong Plain, and then annihilate it with the powerful mechanized troops of the imperial army!"

"The 110th Division and the 8th Brigade directly under the Front Army are already waiting for the net!"

Several combat staff officers immediately put many wargame models of the 2nd Guards Division, the 3rd Brigade, the 4th Brigade and the 9th Brigade on the sand table.

Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "Then the 5th Guards Infantry Wing will be transferred as a reserve, and it will be on standby in Taiyuan, and once a loophole is found in the blockade line in a certain direction, it will be blocked immediately." ”

The two operational staff officers took out three soldier models from the wargames of the 2nd Guards Division and placed them in Taiyuan.

When Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the sand table again, he saw that dozens of war games engraved with the numbers of different units had formed an encirclement of the Taihang Military Region of the Eighth Route Army from the north, west, and south directions.

Only the eastern part of the Taihang bandit area was blank and there was nothing.

Takashi Sakamoto glanced at the sand table, and found that the troops currently mobilized had exceeded 40,000 people, and his heart suddenly sank slightly, it seems that His Excellency the commander is very determined this time.

Concentrate 40,000 troops to sweep a bandit area of the Eighth Route Army,

It seems that Your Excellency the Commander is ready to finish the battle.

Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "This is the three-sided encirclement in the eight-character formula. ”

After a pause, he said, "It's just that how to plan the three blockade lines?" How are troops deployed? Is it an equal distribution of forces or is it a certain focus based on actual needs? ”

"You need to perfect it."

"Hello!" Takashi Sakamoto paused repeatedly.

Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "Now let's talk about the net combing grate." ”

"Pulling the net and combing the grate actually contain two different stages of operation."

"The first stage is to carry out a large-scale dragnet sweep with the brigade as a unit."

"The main operational goal at this stage is to smash the organized resistance of the Eighth Route Army at the battalion and regimental level, and force the Eighth Route Army to break through in a company and platoon unit."

"Before this, all the advancing teams need to enter the bandit area in advance."

"Advance team?" The two staff officers were stunned when they heard this, and said blankly, "What advance team?" ”

The advance team was top secret, and only Shinozuka and several section chiefs knew about it, and neither of the two staff officers of the combat section knew about it.

"The so-called advance team is to transfer a number of elite infantry squadrons from the field wing, supplemented by a certain number of Japanese translators and Chinese interpreters, carry radio stations, and infiltrate the bandit area in the guise of the Eighth Route Army." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Their task is to find and annihilate the headquarters organs of the Eighth Route Army and the command organs at the division, brigade, and regimental levels, so that the Eighth Route Army will completely lose its effective command." ”

"Sodesnay." The two combat officers were awe-inspiring.

The heart said that Your Excellency the Commander, this move is really ruthless.

I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a big loss.

Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "This is the first stage. ”

"The second stage is to take the squad as a unit to carry out an all-round grate sweep of the Taihang bandit area without dead ends!"

"The main operational goal of the second phase is to completely eliminate the company-platoon-level Eighth Route Army, which has been reduced to zero, and at the same time carry out the most thorough elimination of the people of China in the Taihang bandit area."

"For the people of China who dare to resist the imperial army, we must resolutely eliminate them!"

"Let these cunning Chinese rats become lice under the grate, and there is nowhere to hide!"

Yoshio Shinozuka became excited as he spoke, and he must admit that his emotions were still affected by the guy just now, you must know that he rarely has such emotional moments.

Takashi Sakamoto looked fierce, and wrote the words "no man's land" on the document.

Yoshio Shinozuka's meaning is already very clear, that is, to slaughter the Taihang bandit area into a no-man's land, and not allow a single Chinese person to live in the Taihang bandit area anymore.

However, there is another problem that Yoshio Shinozuka did not mention.

At that moment, Ryuichi Sakamoto asked: "Your Excellency Commander, how are the troops involved in the net combing grate organized?" ”

"Oh, I forgot that." Yoshio Shinozuka patted his forehead, and continued, "The troops involved in pulling the net and combing the grate are all drawn from Jinnan. ”

"Nani?"

"All from Jinnan?"

Ryuichi Sakamoto and the two operational staff officers were stunned when they heard this.

This was something they never expected, and they thought that they would be drawn from the 2nd Guards Division, the 3rd, 4th, and 9th Brigades.

But I didn't expect it to be drawn from Jinnan.

But then again, it's a good idea.

Because of the transfer of troops from Jinnan to sweep, it was difficult for the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area to give early warning.

Because the 2nd Guards Division and the 3rd, 4th, and 9th Brigades did not move, the Eighth Route Army would most likely think that the sweep had not yet begun.

Wait a minute?

Suddenly, Ryuichi Sakamoto's faces changed slightly.

All the troops pulling the net and combing grates were drawn from Jinnan, so doesn't that mean that the 2nd Guards Division and the 3rd, 4th, and 9th Brigades only need to take on the blockade task?

Doesn't this mean that there is a high probability that the troops participating in this sweep will exceed 50,000? Or even 60,000 people?

Thinking of this, Ryuichi Sakamoto and several operational staff officers couldn't help but look at each other, the scale of this sweep will be far greater than before, only dealing with a single bandit area, is it necessary to make such a big move?

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Sakamoto-kun, do you think that I am making a fuss? ”

"Not really." Ryuichi Sakamoto smiled a little awkwardly, and said, "It's just that such a large scale of sweeping is indeed a bit too much of a Taihang bandit area." ”

"Too lifting? I don't think so. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Sakamoto-kun, have you forgotten the past achievements of the Taihang Bandit District?" ”

"Of course I didn't." Sakamoto Ryuichi said without thinking, "So far, the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area has successively annihilated the Black Island Cavalry Wing, the Yamazaki Infantry Brigade, the Yamamoto Special Forces, and the North China Front Army Observation Group, and has successively inflicted heavy losses on the 4th Brigade and the 9th Brigade......"

Speaking of this, Takashi Sakamoto paused for a moment.

I didn't care much about it when I didn't take stock,

After taking stock, Sakamoto Takuichi suddenly discovered that unconsciously, the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit District had caused such a big loss to the imperial army?

In this way, it really can't be underestimated!

At that moment, Ryuichi Sakamoto said solemnly: "Your Excellency Commander, I understand!" ”

"It's good that you get it." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, and said, "The Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area is even far more threatening than the Central Army, so it can't be overstated. ”

"Therefore, this time, the imperial army will definitely crush it in one fell swoop with the force of thunder."

When he said these words, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but think of the conversation with the "prince" just now.

That arrogant guy, you will pay for your arrogance, because you simply don't understand how terrible it is when the Imperial Japanese Army gets serious?

"Hello!" Takashi Sakamoto paused again and again, and then asked, "So, which division will be drawn north?" ”

"No, it's not the division, it's the wing." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "Transfer the 223rd and 224th Infantry Wings of the 36th Division, the 226th and 227th Infantry Wings of the 37th Division, and the 238th and 239th Infantry Wings of the 41st Division. ”

"The 36th, 37th, and 41st Wings of the Mountain Artillery were then split, and the 18 artillery squadrons were assigned to the respective sweeping infantry brigades, and they were temporarily organized into 18 sweeping detachments."

"The remaining 9 artillery squadrons remained in Jinnan."

"In this way, each sweeping detachment has a mountain artillery squadron, and the firepower level is enough to crush the Eighth Route Army."

"Note that in the first stage of the dragnet sweep, the 18 sweeping detachments must be lined up in one direction, preferably from west to east, because the forces of Tongpu Road are the weakest,"

"Sweeping from west to east can ensure the safety of Taiyuan."

"It can also ensure that the Eighth Route Army is expelled to the Jizhong Plain."

"In addition, the distance between the individual sweeping detachments cannot exceed 5 km."

"When one of the sweeping detachments came to a halt after an attack, the rest of the sweeping detachments followed suit."

"In short, it is better to spend a few more days to ensure that the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army are destroyed, and the Eighth Route Army is forced to break through in pieces, and finally annihilate it."

"Hello!" Takashi Sakamoto paused repeatedly.

And he said, "But, Your Excellency, Commander,"

"There are only 3 infantry wings left in the entire Jinnan battlefield plus 3 artillery brigades, and in the face of the hundreds of thousands of central armies on Zhongtiao Mountain, will there really be no problems?"

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems." Yoshio Shinozuka said confidently.

"Not to mention whether the Central Army of China on Zhongtiao Mountain has the courage to go down the mountain, even if they have the courage, it is useless, because the current Central Army of China is no longer the Central Army of China three years ago."

"In the past three years, the Central Army of China has been corrupting at an alarming rate."

"Its combat effectiveness has long degenerated to the point that even the Jin Sui Army is far inferior."

"Especially the Central Army in the Zhongtiao Mountains, even the weapons are almost sold out."

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Central Army of China on Zhongtiao Mountain really comes down, it is not a big deal, as long as you hold Linfen, Lu'an and Yuncheng, even if the other small and medium-sized counties are temporarily occupied by the Central Army of China, when the troops that go north to sweep come back, they can be taken back immediately."

"Sodesnay." Takashi Sakamoto said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I understand. ”

"Yo Si." Yoshio Shinozuka asked again, "Sakamoto-kun, have you written down everything I said?" ”

"Hello." Sakamoto paused, "It's all written down, and our combat division will definitely do our best to improve the No. A battle plan in accordance with the eight-character key of His Excellency the commander." ”

"Yo Si." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily again.

……

Sending off Yoshio Shinozuka, Ryuichi Sakamoto and two combat staff officers got busy.

Yoshio Shinozuka's A battle plan is just a guide, and there is still a lot of work to be done to refine it.

For example, 6 infantry wings were dispatched from Jinnan to participate in the sweep, and Yoshio Shinozuka only needed a light sentence, but Ryuichi Sakamoto and they had to work a lot.

The first is the specific formation of 18 sweeping detachments.

The temporary code name and the construction of the headquarters must be completed as soon as possible.

Then there is the time and route of each sweeping detachment.

And then there's the way of marching, on foot or by car? Or maybe take the train?

And how to solve the logistics support of the various detachments? How to determine the sweep route?

All of this is the work of the combat class, and it is really a thousand things.

Ryuichi Sakamoto and the others were busy when the footsteps of Shell suddenly sounded outside the door.

When he turned his head to look, he saw Takuya Mizuhara, the former head of the communications section, walk in with a straight face.

"Sakamoto-kun." Takuya Mizuhara said expressionlessly, "You guys put aside the work at hand for the time being, I have a few simple questions for you." ”

Ryuichi Sakamoto then remembered that the headquarters was already under martial law.

Takuya Mizuhara is going to screen the three of them.

At the moment, Ryuichi Sakamoto could only put down the cultural folder in his hand.

Takuya Mizuhara first asked the other two combat staff officers to avoid it, and then asked Takashi Sakamoto: "Sakamoto-kun, please tell me in detail about the itinerary of the past two days." ”

"Where have you been?"

"Who have you seen again?"

"Please don't miss anything."

"Otherwise, you know."

Speaking of this, the corners of Takuya Mizuhara's mouth hooked slightly.

Ryuichi Sakamoto began to speak as he tried to remember.

Takuya Mizuhara listened as he swept the folder on the table by Ryuichi Sakamoto out of the corner of his eye, only to see eight big characters written on his head: "Enclosed on three sides, pull the net and comb the grate".

When I wanted to take a closer look, I had already discovered it by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

"Suwon-kun, you have overstepped your authority." Takashi Sakamoto.

With that, Takachi Sakamoto closed the folder again.

Takuya Mizuhara snorted and said, "Sakamoto-kun, are you finished?" ”

"That's all for now." Takashi Sakamoto, "I'll tell you about the rest when I think about it." ”

"Okay, you can go." Takuya Mizuhara snorted slightly, and said, "Now you go out and call in the pig breeder." ”

……

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

It's early August.

In the past half a month, Wang Ye didn't ask much about the training of the Wolf Warrior Squadron, and it was always Wei Dayong and Lu Changsheng who were doing training in a few basic subjects.

Wang Ye took Wang Xikui and several other veteran team members to conduct all-round reconnaissance of the terrain along Zhengtai Road and Tongpu Road.

This time, it was necessary not only to conduct reconnaissance, but also to demarcate every valley, every hill, every small river, and even every road along the two railways.

Ensure that after receiving the mission, the artillery regiment can quickly enter the designated position according to the map, and launch accurate artillery bombardment on the target marked by the wolf squadron.

The devil's side is not idle.

The 2nd Guards Division took full control of Zhengtai Road.

Maeda Tadanobu set up his division headquarters in Yangquan, the 4th Guards Infantry Wing was stationed in Yangquan and was responsible for the defense from Yangquan to Niangzi Pass, the 5th Guards Infantry Wing was stationed at Niangzi Pass and was responsible for the defense from Niangzi Pass to Huolu County, and the 3rd Guards Infantry Wing was stationed in Shouyang County and was responsible for the defense from Taiyuan to Yangquan.

The replenished 4th Brigade was transferred to Ping'an County.

The 3rd Brigade was again transferred back to the Laoxian garrison.

After the replenishment of the 9th Brigade was completed, it was still stationed in Taiyuan.

……

In Yang Village, the new regimental headquarters.

Ding Weizheng entertained three old comrades-in-arms, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Cheng Shifa.

The four main regiments of the mobile column have changed their guard again, and those now stationed in Yangcun to be responsible for the security of the headquarters organs have been replaced by Ding Wei's new regiment.

The independent regiment changed its guard to Yangshugou.

Yangshugou is not far from Yangcun, and Li Yunlong often comes to Ding Wei for a drink.

It's just that the people who arrived today are a bit together, and Kong Jie and Cheng Shifa are also here.

"Lao Ding, you don't know yet, do you?" Kong Jie said, "The little devil has learned well. ”

"." Ding Wei picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of soju, and said disdainfully, "Little devils are little devils, can they still become fine?" ”

In the last half a month,

The new regiment is responsible for the security of the headquarters organs.

So Ding Wei hasn't gone out to engage in a side hustle for half a month.

Ding Wei is still different from Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong often does not do his job, obviously responsible for the safety of the headquarters organs, but he runs an unauthorized off-duty job and goes out to engage in side jobs.

"Lao Ding, don't believe it." Li Yunlong said.

"The devils of the 2nd Guards Division are really different from the previous devils."

"Really?" Ding Wei suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Tell me, what's different?" ”

Kong Jie said: "The most common trick we used to deal with devils in the past was to fish, send a force to surround a certain artillery tower or a certain stronghold of the devils, and then wait for the devils to send troops to reinforce them." ”

"As soon as the devil's reinforcements come, let's ambush him halfway through."

"With this trick, we don't know how much benefit we have gained."

"But this time, the 2nd Guards Division has changed its game."

"First, they only restored a few data points on both sides of the blockade ditch."

"The remaining 100-odd strongholds were simply abandoned, don't want it."

"The number of strongholds has decreased, but the number of defenders in each stronghold has increased."

"Now there is at least one squadron of devils in each stronghold, and there is no puppet army!"

"What's worse is that the devils have also set up a lot of mobile strike brigades, with special truck transportation, and thieves can be rushed to the scene with a phone call."

"Oh my mother."

"Last time, I took a battalion to the Niuzhuang stronghold to do a side business,"

"As a result, not only did I not catch fish, but I almost put Lao Tzu's 3rd battalion in."

"Is there such an evil sect?" Ding Wei was stunned and said, "With the strength of a battalion, you can't catch a fish?" ”

"Fishing is caught, in Xiao Wang's words, fucking caught a crocodile." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "I almost didn't swallow the old hole and the belt bones, haha." ”

"Go, go, how much better can you be than me?"

Kong Jie said angrily: "Last time you took a battalion to fight Xiao Li Zhuang, didn't you also eat deflated?" ”

"So what?" Ding Wei said, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Yunlong beckoned, and the four heads immediately came together.

"This time, let's join forces and play big!"

PS: I've been writing fast lately, and my thinking is a little messy, so I'll start resuming two more tomorrow, sort out my thoughts, and strive to write out the next anti-sweeping drama.
